When they got to the lobby, they saw two women sitting in chairs on the other side. They were both wearing press badges and going through their questions in their heads. When Shuichi and Tohma went up to them, they immediately stood up. Tohma turned to Shuichi and said, "Mr. Shindo, this is Ms. Mihu." Indicating to the woman on the left. "She is with The Liberator. And this is Ms. Yoji." Indicating to the woman on the right. "She is with the Tokyo Times. They will be the ones interviewing us. Ms. Kaoruko wanted to be here, but had family troubles in Kyoto."
Both women smiled. Then Ms. Yoji said, "It was very nice of you to allow us this grand opportunity, Mr. Seguchi."
"Yes, it is. Thank you very much." said Ms. Mihu.
Tohma smiled and said, "Your quiet welcome. Unfortunately, Mr. Yuki will be unable to join us. He was not feeling well enough for this. So, I will be taking his place if that is alright."
Both women said, "Y, that will be fine," with a hint of disappointment in their voices.
Tohma grabbed two chairs and said, "Now, lets begin."
Both women and Shuichi nodded in agreement. As they sat down Ms. Mihu was the first to ask a question. "How long have you and Mr. Yuki been engaged?"
Shuichi blushed and said, "A week, tomorrow."
Both women were shocked at this. Then Ms. Yoji said, "Only a week, that isn't long at all. Well, you have been going out for, what, five years now?"
"Yes, that is correct," said Shuichi calmly.
"I guess, that makes it okay. Do you agree, Mr. Seguchi?" asked Ms. Mihu.
"Yes, I do." said Tohma smiling.
"Since, you are getting married tomorrow, whose idea was it to get married so soon?" asked Ms. Yoji.
"It was Yuki's idea," said Shuichi.
Both women looked at each other with a curious look. Then Ms. Mihu asked, "When ever you are interviewed and talk about Mr. Yuki, you never refer to him as Eiri. You always call him Yuki, why?"
Shuichi had a puzzled look on his face. He had never really thought about it before. Eiri had never asked him to stop or to call him Eiri. Since Shuichi didn't know, and Tohma saw that, Tohma said, "It is because that was the way he met Eiri. He met him as Yuki even though him name is Eiri and everyone calls him that. It makes Mr. Shindo special, in a way." Shuichi smiled at Tohma. "Any more questions?"
"I have just one," said Ms. Yoji. "Will you be saying your own vows or not?"
Once again Shuichi was puzzled. He had totally forgotten about vows. He realized that he should have asked Eiri a while ago. Tohma got the feeling that Shuichi didn't know that they were doing their own vows, so he said, "Yes they will. Eiri has something special he wants to do and say." Shuichi gave Tohma a curious look, but Tohma just smiled.
"As for my last question," said Ms Mihu. "How is this the line up going to work? Is it just going to be the two of you, or will it be more like a regular wedding?"
"I will be more like a regular wedding," said Shuichi enthusiastically. "Yuki will be the doing the husband and I'll be like the bride, even though I am a man." Both reporters giggled. "As for the line up, on my side I will have Mika Seguchi, Ryuichi Sakuma, Ayaka Usami, and Noriko Ukai."
"So Ryuichi is going to be on your side?" asked Ms. Yoji.
"Yes he is." said Shuichi in a matter-of-fact like tone. "He wanted to be my Maid of Honor, but since Tohma is Yuki's Best Man, I thought that it would be best to keep couples together. So Ryuichi will be across from Fuji…" He knew instantly that he had made a mistake. He had gone too much into depth about the line up. I knew that Ryuichi and Fujisaki were going to hate him. Tohma put his face in his hands. He as well couldn't believe that Shuichi had said that. What were they to do?
Both reporters smiled at each other. "So, do you mean that Ryuichi Sakuma and Suguru Fujisaki are…dating?" asked Ms. Mihu slowly so they got it right.
"Uhhh?" said both Shuichi and Tohma at the same time.
"So it is true," said Ms. Yoji with a grin.
"Please don't put that in the articles. They would hate me for forever. I wouldn't be able to stand them being mad at me. This might even ruin Bad Luck's career if Fujisaki gets mad about it. I would be very grateful if we could just keep this quiet until they decide to reveal this." pleaded Shuichi.
"Yes, I believe that it would be best if you didn't print that." said Tohma. "I don't want my friends or family to get mad at each other and ruin this wedding. So please keep this quiet. As Mr. Shindo said, this could ruin the bands."
Both reporters gave them sad sympathetic looks. "I guess we could." said Ms. Mihu sadly.
"Ya. This would be a wonderful scoop, but we really like Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper. It would be terrible if they stopped playing." said Ms. Yoji, also sadly.
"The fans would have preferred not knowing if they knew that that would happen. So, we'll do it." said Ms. Mihu smiling.
"Thank you ever so much." said Shuichi relieved that he wouldn't get in trouble by his friends.
"Well, I believe that ends our interview. Goodbye." said Tohma as he stood up. "Please follow me Mr. Shindo."
Shuichi looked nervous, but said, "Okay." As he stood up he said, "Thanks so much for this interview and saying that you won't print that one thing."
"Oh your quiet welcome, Mr. Shindo." said Ms. Yoji.
"Yes, and congratulations." said Ms. Mihu.
"Thanks," said Shuichi smiling. And with that he followed Tohma, not knowing what he wanted to talk to him about.
